State lagging behind under YSRCP rule, alleges Kotla

Kurnool: Telugu Desam Party leader and former Union Minister Kotla Jaya Surya Prakash Reddy called upon the party leaders and activists to strive for party's victory in the municipal elections.

The leaders and activists need to work in unison by coordinating with each other. He along with MLC KE Prabhakar, district president Somishetty Venkateswarulu and constituency in-charge T G Bharat addressed party activists meeting here in Kurnool on Sunday.

Kotla said development came to a halt in State under the YSRCP rule during the last nine months. He regretted that investors were staying away from AP due to the policies being pursued by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy. He alleged that the YSRCP government was encouraging faction politics in the State.

Stating that people were already vexed with Jagan's governance, Kotla said they would teach the ruling party a befitting lesson in the polls to local bodies.

He exuded confidence that people would provide comfortable victory to the TDP in the municipal elections.

MLC KE Prabhakar alleged that the YSR government was foisting false cases against the leaders of the Telugu Desam Party. Nobody would fear if false cases are filed, he said.

Infusing courage among the party leaders and activists, Prabhakar asked them to work with an aim to ensure victory at the local body and municipal elections.

He said if Jagan had any affection for Kurnool then let him announce Kurnool as capital instead of Visakhapatnam. Prabhakar said the TDP would secure thumping victory in the local body elections.

Constituency in-charge T G Bharat called upon the interested candidates to submit their applications before March 10th.

After scrutiny, party will decide the names of contesting candidates.

Those who did not get the ticket should not get disheartened, the party would definitely recognise their services. He appealed to the party cadre to take the failures of YSR Congress Party into the people.

Prior to party activists' meeting, the leaders garlanded the statue of TDP founder and former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao. District president Somishetty Venkateswarulu, former deputy mayor Muralidhar Goud, Tirupal Babu, Abbas, other party leaders and activists participated in the meeting.
